A motorcycle has the benefit of being able to get out of its own way. It’s fast and agile. Smart car is neither. It is a target.

As a motorcycle rider I can tell you that motorcycles are not agile. Making rapid movements at high speed on them can be very dangerous as it doesn’t take much bad road to knock your bike out of control. Secondly drivers don’t see you at all on a bike. I’ve had so many people tried to merge into my bike. Riding a bike is about the most dangerous legal activity you can do in the US. It’s also great fun.

Clearly you don’t ride motorcycles.

You cannot maneuver any bike as quickly as you can a 4-wheel car.

I’ve been riding 53 years, every kind of bike known almost, and you just cannot maneuver a bike as quickly = especially at speed.

AND once you swerve in one direction, it takes even longer to correct that direction and swerve back.

BTW, I own 7 bikes......and have 12 in my garage - kids, nephews, etc.
